I finally am able to do the Kayson post! My computer crashed right after I got all the pictures ready so I haven't been able to so I finally just came over to my sister's house to get it done. And for some reason it is not letting me type in between pictures so I'm just going to tell the story and you can look at the pictures.

We checked into the hospital on Wednesday Sept. 19th at 6am to get all prepped and ready for my C-Section. It took 3 tries to get an IV going and then three tries to get my spinal in. So by the time that was all done I was tired of being poked that's for sure!!! Here is Travis all ready to go! When the surgery started he was out in about the first five minutes so there wasn't a lot of waiting around. He was born at 9:27 am weighed 9lbs 13oz and was 20" long. We are so happy to have him in our family!!! We love you Kayson!

It's hard to even know where to start with my McKenna. She is such a sweetheart and is so helpful to me! She has a lot of responsibility as the oldest but she does a great job shouldering the load that I need her to! And she is always (usually) happy!

Pretty much everything about McKenna's world revolves around gymnastics these days. Saying she LOVES it is a bit of an understatement. And she is getting pretty good at it to I might add. Sometimes we have to ground her at home from doing any gymnastics because she can't even walk from one spot to the next without doing a hand stand or cart wheel and one of us has been kicked more than once! But I am glad she has found something she loves so much and is good at.

McKenna is also so great with helping her sisters and playing with them. It's so fun to watch them become friends as well as sisters! She is a great helper with her brother as well!!!

McKenna does great in school and is reading 175 words per minute! She loves to read all kinds of books! She has some really great friends in her class at school and church and could pretty much make a friend anywhere she goes. I don't know what I would do without all of her help! We love you McKenna and are so glad you are in our family!

Then there is Megan!! This little two and a half year old keeps me on my toes!! She is very spunky! Her hair is always crazy because she won't ever leave it in! We will do it in the morning and she will look so cute and a half hour later she has it all ripped out and she is looking like a lipnicky!! But I will still keep her.

She is really into dressing up in all of our princess dresses too! She is a pretty princess even with that crazy hair! I also can't pay her to keep her shoes on so even though you can't see in the picture I would bet money she has no shoes on!

She is very thoughtful and always bringing me flowers even after I have asked her not to pick my flowers about a hundred million times, but it is still sweet she wants to bring her mom a flower so I don't get too mad.

I mean how can you get mad at that smile! haha

Oh and most of all, this girl loves sippy cups more than ANYTHING! I don't know how I am going to get rid of those babies! But for now she is still just two so I let her use them. We love Megan and her little spitfire personality.

So I wanted to do an update on all of my munchkins and what they are up to as of late. And since it was just Madison's birthday I am starting with her. It's crazy to think she was this tiny baby and now she is a beautiful five year old!

Some of the things that Madison likes to do these days is playing outside, playing learning games on the computer, catching caterpillars, singing and she loves to do crafts.

She is so funny and is always playing jokes on her dad! It's about time someone teased him back!

But most of all lately she is over the moon about her new brother! She can't go a day without having a good snuggle session with him. She is such a great helper for me and I am so glad she is in our family. That smile and those pretty blue eyes just melt my heart. Love you Maddie!
